Specify the master page placement in a page set

Before Designer 8, you managed page sets by controlling the number of occurrences of each page in the form. This process meant you controlled repetitive page rendering by specifying one of these options in the Object palette for the selected page set or master page:
  • Restrict Page Occurrence

  • Min

  • Count

  • Max

    For compatibility reasons, this functionality is still available.

    In Designer 8 or later, use master pages in a page set to control page placement and the number of page occurrences in a form.

    Form designs contain at least one page set. For forms that are intended for double-sided printing, specify where the master page is used in the page set. For example, specify in the first printed page, the last printed page, or the printed pages in between.

    Note: The first page in the root page set cannot be blank; it must contain a content area.

    For form designs that contain more than one page set, specify a break in a subform for printing to transition from one page set to the next.

    Note: Specifying master page placement is not relevant for form designs that are based on setting minimum and maximum page-occurrence values.

    The Only Page (in Page Set) option is useful when the rendered form can be printed on one side of a printed page. For example, in the form below, although the data fits on one printed page, two pages are printed. The reason is because a master page is available for the first printed page and the last printed page in the page set. In the example, the header information appears on the first_page master page, and the footer information appears on the last_page master page.

    To prevent two pages from being printed when everything can fit on one page, create a master page. Then, select the Only Page (in Page Set) option. Whenever the data of the rendered form fits on one side of a printed page, this master page is used.
